Thanks for the update Trev. I'll do some clicking in a sec.

I'm STILL loving this track - it's the Southern/Blues "intro" and the 2nd/3rd solos that have bitten home most (along with the video/lyrics of course).

I honestly cannot remember ANYTHING they've ever released - studio or live - that contains a solo as impressive as that 3rd one (I'm now convinced it's Davey/Janick/Adrian).

JUST (as in the last 20mins) managed to track down somewhere to order the red/black vinyl from at a good price. The bulk of sites out there were asking about $125 CAD including shipping, which I thought was a bit over the top, but a good hour of (im)patient google-foo resulted in me finding a Reddit thread that recommended these guys :arrow: https://www.boilerroomrecords.co.uk/col ... olour-disc for a total of $98 CAD.

Bonus being they are a physical store in the UK and I'd much rather do business with them than help finance trips to space & political contributions.

I haven't been this excited for an album release in over 20 years (since we left the UK) ImageImageImage

So, now I am trying to find a good clean audio that I can download and listen to. Amazon only has an MP3 version.
I found this site https://www.prostudiomasters.com/album/page/96843
But I am not sure how legit it is, so I am checking around before I buy from there. But you can listen to it on there.
Enjoyed the reaction vid (as I have the 6 or 7 I've seen prior to this).

The other site you linked - it's obviously only a snippet but yeah - it does sound different. I remember Dee Snider commenting YEARS back on how important it was to tailor various edits/versions to the sites and/or media form so that you ended up with the best sound.

This thing is STILL giving me chills EVERY time - I can't remember another track in recent memory that did that after some 20-odd listenings in less than a week.

It's THAT good :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

        • (* now nearly 5 million views - and I'm loving the comments - seem to be 99.9% positive & appreciative *)

Glad you found a place to order. I took a look, and was surprised that WhatRecords didn't have that version available. For years, they were my go-to when I was after new releases from Maiden (back when I was heavy into the collecting)

I am planning on just getting the media book version.

Keep getting drawn back to this.

STILL loving it.

Not positive, but I think this may have entered the top 5 for most viewed videos on their official channel (nearing 8.2 million as I type) . . . not bad for something that's only 2½ weeks old!

A bit of promotion for the new album.
No clues about anything in it, Just Bruce, Steve, and Kevin talking about how this is their best album yet. (I'll reserve judgement on that until I actually hear it)

Thanks for the link :thumb2:

Amazing to think this (and that) was recorded over 2½ years ago :shock: Image :)

The vid for the single is approaching 9½ million views/listens (in under 4 weeks) :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: (+½)

Part II of what it now seems will be a series in the run-up to the release, Adrian discussing the making of the album :arrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-zpSoHx3LI

In other news, it had previously been reported that Bruce was rescheduling a few of his UK spoken-tour dates due to a member of his household catching the beer-bug . . . turns out Bruce himself has now come down with it :arrow: https://bravewords.com/news/iron-maiden ... us-trouble

Thanks-goodness he was sensible enough to take the opportunity to be double-vaccinated :shock:

New version of the Writing On The Wall video.
This time with the sound effects front and center
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouNrpm0zRWg

I really like it, when I am watching the video. Listening in the background, not so much.

Yeah - saw this (well, part of this) earlier today.

Not a fan.

Went and re-watched the original though :)

Spotted my first review a few mins ago :arrow: https://bravewords.com/reviews/iron-maiden-senjutsu

Interesting :-k

A quick bit of google-foo also brought up this one (longer - so haven't read any of it yet) :arrow: https://loudwire.com/iron-maiden-senjut ... de-review/

It'll be nice when we can add our own thoughts :)

Thanks to my Son (who heard about this before I did) :arrow: I found out the 2nd track off the album (which is also the 2nd track ON the album) has been made available!


Much prefer Bruce's vocals on this - ESPECIALLY the overlaid harmonies - beautiful work!
    • The drums/bass are a bit predictable/repetitive, and (IMO) the quality of the track is contained in the chorus preamble + chorus + chorus aftermath (YMMV).
        • There's a definite "Japanese" feel to the latter part of the solo - (chills) LOVE IT!
            • "Look at my eyes" screams Bruce while Eddie occasionally blinks at us throughout the video :)

As far as I'm concerned - the fellas are 2 for 2 on this so far.

Just 2 weeks + 1 day to go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam:


PS: Have I mentioned I LOVE the new Eddie design? . . . I have? . . . well - what can I say :)

I knew it was coming out today, but had to wait until after work when I finally got on the computer.
(they posted on FB it would be dropping today)

I love it!
Really has a BNW feel to it (which is still my favorite album of there from the 2000's)
My only nit-pic is the synth in the background. The pitch of it is almost annoying, but it is so far back in the mix it doesn't drive me completely crazy. But it does take away from the guitar riffs it is mimicking.

I just realised I'd forgotten to add the link to the vid.

I swear - if I had a brain I'd be dangerous (added . . . the link not the brain).

Thanks for the link.

It's always great listening to Bruce - so enthusiastic, and obviously loves life AND what he does - that 20mins flew by.

One of the gooduns is that fella.
